I have just completed a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on my system and all is well except for a yellow exclamation mark showing in Device Manager under "Network adapters" and against the item "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface" 

Looking under the properties for this device shows "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

I haven't got any idea on what this device is or does.

Could someone please advise on this problem.

Thanks.

Hi Siebert9,

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forum!

First thing I would like to suggest you is to uninstall and reinstall the device from device manager and verify if the yellow exclamation mark disappears.

You can also try updating your network driver by following these steps:

  • Right click the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
  • Update Driver Software...
  • Browse my computer for driver software
  • Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
  • Select from the list and update the driver.

Also you may get this mark because the network adapter may not be compatible with Windows 7. Request you to contact the manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver/adaptor that is compatible with Windows 7.

To check for compatibility in windows 7, visit the below mentioned link:

Hope this helps resolve your issue!

Thanks & Regards,

Supreeth - Microsoft Support.

    I have the same problem with the terado  adapter.

    It snows error 10, but my computer is running on Vista Ultimate. I tried option #2, but the registry files are different.

    I have also a problem installing the windows update files. This is a new problem. The latest update was in December, and I did  not encounter any problem then. Did Microsoft changed something what Vista is not supporting? Are these problems connect some way? I would appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    Supreeth;

    I Read this Entire Post Thread...I'm Still having the Problem even after doing the Un-Install/Re-Install, Now what??

    Also in my Case it seems to involve 2 other Utilities:

    Microsoft ISATAP Adapter

    Microsoft ISATAP Adapter 2

    So, ALL 3 have the Yellow Explanation Point, with a CODE 10

    I'm running for my OS: Windows 7 Home Premium-64 Bit

    Hello,  I'm having the same issue on Dell Latitude E6400, E4300, E6510 model laptops all on Win 7 x64 Professional with SP1.  Uninstalling and reinstalling the legacy hardware did not work!  Is there anything else we can do to have this device working correctly as I believe this is affecting function of Huawei ZTE MF636 device on all these laptops.

    I have corrected system errors with code 10 & 19 using one of the two options below.

    Option#1

    Problem: In Device Manager, a yellow explanation mark appears beside "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface". Opening the driver shows that "The device cannot start" with error code 10.

    Solution:

    1. Open command prompt with administrator credentials (Find CMD and right-click - Run as Administrator).
    2. Enter netsh environment. Type "netsh" and ENTER.
    3. "int teredo" and ENTER
    4. "set state disabled" and ENTER.
    5. Open Device Manager and uninstall "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface".
    6. Open command prompt with administrator credentials once again.
    7. netsh + ENTER.
    8. "int ipv6" + ENTER
    9. "set teredo client" + ENTER
    10. Open Device Manager and Scan for new hardware.
    11. Select "Show hidden devices" from the View menu. You will now see that it is present without errors with any luck.

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net...v6/teredo.mspx

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net...v6_teredo.mspx

    Option#2

    If the item is disabled.

    In the start menu search bar type in REGEDIT to open the registry editor. Navigate through the following:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\TCPIP6\PARAMETERS.

    In the right pane look for Disabled Components, right click Disabled Components and select edit. Set the DWord value to 0. (If you do have Disabled Components there, the value may for example be set to ff which is invalid.) You must Restart your computer and the teredo tunneling adapter will now start.
